Carbon Pricing  Madam Speaker, disingenuous is what one calls it when someone says that they care about something, but they do the exact opposite, which is today's Conservatives. They claim to care about people in food bank lineups, but oppose our plan to feed 400,000 more children per year. The

Fall Economic Statement Implementation Act, 2023  Madam Speaker, I can relate to the member's commitment to having a strong health care system in Canada today.
